Hey do they do the tune for life deal like Bama?
another AED lope idle...with a twist.
- Thread starter five.slow
- Start date
its just sound, you'll get the same power on the performance tune that you have on the lope tune
I'm pretty sure that Shaun has the same type of "tune for life" thing going on....if i have an issue or think i do, i'll get with shaun, log some stuff and if he feels i should try another one, he'll send me one.
I got one today cuz of an issue that i have or think i have in my head, logged it, got some info and advice from Shaun and then an updated tune. He rocks.

Hey thanks man I am thinkng about getting a tune from him soon.
eh....to rice for me. If I want my car sound like it has cams then I would put cams in it.
its funny reading things like "making it sound like it has power". Shit, a lot of the old 5.0's with a decent cam werent making 412 hp, lol. I think a lot of us are not giving power the respect it deserves anymore. Sure some were, but the average H/C/I n/a 5.0 wasnt. A car thats a tune and some tire away thats capable of high 11's is pretty ****ing powerfull IMO....
The car has cams in it that would lope if the vct didn't dial them back to not lope.
I love how you can make it sound like my old fox body but it gets much better gas mileage and is much more reliable. I had a fairly big cam in my fox and its brakes sucked cuz of it. With afr 185s a big custom cam holley intake and full exhaust. It put down 320. It was alot of fun loved the way it sound but constantly broke things and had a super stiff clutch. So now the new 5.0s you can get all the cool shit of the old ones with much more power and all the new comforts. At this point I'm thinking about putting a Coyote in my old Fox body. As far as tunes back them there was no way you would get a good mail order tune. I have read nothing but great things from AED when i get my new GT they will be getting a call from me.
The thing about Shaun is after you spend X amount of money he gives you free hugs. 
not many people seem to understand that lol. If i lived in CA, they would be doing me a blower lope tune and everyone could hate on that too lol

True story!
indeed good sir!
It does nothing for performance Steve. So you understand why I do not care for it.
it does nothing but sounds cool, something not everyone has plus its just another added bonus to your performance tune.
Yes sir and again I agree with you. I guess I'm getting old since I prefer the nice smooth quiet car over a lumpy, rough idling everything vibrating in the car type ride. lol. The car is refined and I like it that way. If I wanted a vibrating rattletrap would have kept my 93 Cobra. lol.
I go back and forth. I drive the cam tune for a while then ill go back to stock idle because I just want not feel the lope lol. It's a vicious cycle!
Years ago guys would put the piece of crap E or B cams in their Fox cars and not touch the intake or heads just for the sound. This is just a new way of going about it.
This comes to mind lol...

i totally agree...
im guessing this tune will lower your static compression due to the valves been open for a longer period of time? correct? also what about the cyl 8 issue has that been corrected? i herd is in the past now... i wonder if this tune is adding any stress to the VCTi system...mechanical and electronic?
i think i will be an AED costumer soon...

having something "sound" cool is cosmetic. I mean I'm not going to get in this war of whether or not it's worth doing, but the sound is made to mimic the sound of a cam. A cam sound that is no longer needed with todays technology. If years ago every fast car had a fart sound coming from the intake, would we be emulating that too? I mean I love the sound of a lopey car, I associate it with a bad ass car too, but to mimic that just seems very ricey to me
